Is four clicks really that tough? Or do you migrate so many questions the fourth click is just wearing your fingers out?

@Luke is four clicks necessary? There's enough real estate to support the migrate choice there. The only draw back I see is the potential for someone thinking "off-topic" and then going to off-topic where Migrate isn't a choice so a close vote happening instead. Solution being add migrate to both menus, but then that does kind of stink. Either way I'd rather see migrate on the main choice than off-topic, perhaps even above off-topic so people see it first (This would encourage migrations over closures which is a better way to gather good content than closure)

The way you recommend would clutter the first page up a lot more. There would be six options (you cut out "primarily opinion-based" in your picture).

@Luke Lots of available space in the first page, and the headings help avoid clutter. In the off topic dialog, although it might seem there's space, there's not (it's used for expanding "other").
